Suzi, maybe you need a stronger painkiller than ibuprofen. (Sorry if that's the totally obvious conclusion you already arrived at; I'm undercaffeinated at the moment.)
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

I have ibuprofen, lorazapram, and Vicodin. Trying to balanc the three to stay functional.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We had a serious Freecycle score last night: a giant bag of girls' costume pieces.
Ooh, that sounds awesome!

Yeah, that is a tricky balance when you want to stay functional. I hope your dentist has a solution for you -- dental pain sucks hard.

I feel almost embarrassed at feeling too warm and uncomfortable in what counts for balmy everywhere else, but it's San Francisco.
As a contrast, it's 60F in Chicago and I'm wearing a sweater.
No jacket, though. That would be ridiculous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We're down to a predicted high of 87 today. I'm excited! Except that I double-checked my phone and now it says 97. Boo.
Today's outfit complies with the buffista office appropriate dress code: cap-sleeved tunic over a mid-calf length skirt, bare legs. Most importantly, this skirt has pockets. For a moment this morning I considered wearing polka-dots with checks, but I chickened out and went with a solid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also didn't realize that IEEE would have their own jobs site! That would be good inasmuch as I speak fluent Engineerise.
Yes, the long dark winter of our hiring freeze is over! To avoid confusion, I should mention, IEEE has two "jobs" sites: one for eng and tech jobs in the industry, not with us, and one for jobs with IEEE. We have offices in CA, DC, NY, and NJ. It's a good company.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Also, it's 80 degrees here with 66% humidity and Chicago sounds real good to me, as I sit here sweating from the terrible exertion of walking inside from the car.

It's oddly chilly here -- 65 and rainy. I'm thinking pea soup for lunch.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I just bought my own health insurance for the first time ever. It wasn't as painful as it could be, I guess. HR hired someone to sit down with all the fired people and walk us through it.
